It also demonstrates the unfairness of awarding a performance based on one or two episodes rather than an entire year's worth of work.  But, I've never been able to think of another fair way to compare acting if one character was in 80 episodes and another was in 20.

This year the rules were different. Read the thread of actors describing their reels.

You can do a sampling of scenes from the entire year.  Some actors picked clips and arranged them in a sequence to tell a story.

The Stephen Nichols tribute to Tyler Christopher was nice. 

Nice, sure...but I did not appreciate that he was singled out while other actors were shelved into the Memoriam.

Its too bad the other legends won't get that. Just a pic and that's it.

Exactly. The Memoriam was OK - but I think given the magnitude of performers who died, they could have done a tribute to several of them incorporating at least a moment of footage. The BAFTA and British Soap Awards do it and it's so effective and beautiful. No offence to the performer of the song, but had they used simple instrumental music, this could have been easily accomplished.

Are Liza and Susan estranged? she didn't mention her at all

Yes, Liza commented on Instagram that she had long been estranged from her parents when Helmut died. Susan was clearly emotional in her speech but given she's never discussed the estrangement, I thought it interesting that she specifically paid tribute to her son. I really liked how Susan pointed out the actors she'd worked with who were now elsewhere. Although I doubt she'd do it, I would love to see her guest on Y&R and share a scene with Peter Bergman. They have always seemed to have a warm friendship over the years.

I'm glad that Andreas was there with his mom.

He has always seemed like a kind son in the little snippets you'd see of him over the years when La Lucci was interviewed.

I have no idea. It seemed like one moment they were making talk show appearances together, and the next they were estranged. When Helmut passed, Liza shared that she had been estranged from her parents for years and was not invited to his funeral.

Just my two cents but I hazard to guess that Liza is the problem given Susan (& Helmut), Andreas, his family, remain close. As well, Liza's tone when Helmut died was cold. I just wonder what Brooke Kerr is thinking given she worked with Liza for years.

Dedicated to Sonya and Nneka but no Tyler, Billy, or Jackie?

Really disgusted by that. Jackie was part of the bedrock of that show. 

Overall, a really dull show. The tributes to Y&R and GH were incredibly bad. The lack of footage for actor nomination packages, no clip packages of any value for each show, the ceremony is a husk of itself.

Based on positioning, I believe I know which outlet Dan is talking about and those people don't know how to do their jobs. I guess those people hired an intern for the job?

N'Neka Garland would be receiving an Emmy, posthumously.
Per the Emmys' website she's listed as one of the GH producers receving the award.

Also all the fired writers at Y&R get their Emmy for writing, since this was for 2022 episodes.  Good for them.

Yeah I rolled my eyes so hard when JG said "writing team" I'm like "what team? you fired them all"

OMG cringe

I was surprised Eden was there for La Lucci. Susan acknowledged her and in a way she's been that daughter Liza hasn't been.

Was um….Frank ummm Valentini ummmm on ummmm downers? Ummmm. What a strange man. You just won the Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Drama. Try to ummmm show ummmm a little ummm enthusiasm!! 
PS - SO glad that Chavez lost! That must have shocked him.

I knew they wouldn't mention some of the actors who passed, but Pat Roberson, WTF?!

He looked amazing 😍😊😊

At the conclusion I found myself saying how glad I was that it wasn't a Vegas or web production & then thought that I was really saying that we know it could have been worse. Hmmm. 

I was amazed that Valentini seemed like he was on some kind of downers!!! 

Not for the 1st time I thought too much time was spent on visuals of the singers during the IM. And why was Anne Heche included when she died Aug. 11, 2022? Plus, Pat Robertson? Are you kidding me?!!

Then, my predictions, geeze I got two right! Guest & Writing. Alley Mills looked fantastic but her footwear was alarming. 

Francesa James, can I say she looked amazing! 

As is often the case I was disappointed that DAYS was shut out. Only because I really thought 3 actors had nailed their categories - Billy Flynn, Cary Christopher & Stacy Haiduk. So they make up this years' THEY WUZ ROBBED! for me. But, so was Melissa Claire Eagan!

I bet she would do it, too! One thing she is, is game to try things. If you read her memoir one of the things you learn about her is just how many times she moved out of her comfort zone to try something different!
